"what is this?"
The speed of the minecart sliding in the tunnel gradually slowed down, and the sound of hammering iron gradually subsided, making Xu Le's voice tremble particularly evident. The boy's habitually steady hand was shaking as he touched the smooth bracelet on his left wrist, vaguely guessing something, but he couldn't believe it.
Feng Yu did not answer.
Suddenly, the metal bracelet with a thickness of 0.7 cm slid like flowing mercury with the touch of Xu Le's fingertips!
The metal surface highlights extremely fine lines, and then cracks along the lines, revealing the extremely complex and delicate structure inside the bracelet. In the hollow cavity of the bracelet, three hair-thin metal wires are strung with an indiscernible number of micro-bright metal particles.
Just like the starlight drawn in lines in a surreal oil painting, all those dazzling stars are strung together.
Taking advantage of the dim light in the mine, Xu Le's small eyes were round and round, staring at his wrist without blinking, as if he had seen a fairy or a monster that did not exist in this world. The wires were too thin, and the vibration of the minecart was too great. Xu Le was worried that the wires would be broken at any time. Those faint metal particles are too small, the small ones seem to have no weight, they may be swept away by the faint wind in the mine at any time, and they will never be traced again.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these metal wires and tiny shiny metal particles may be just very delicate and fragile handicrafts, but Xu Le followed Feng Yu to study machine repair for four years, and he has a share of the crystallization of all human machine civilization. Tiancheng's sensitivity, he could tell at a glance that there was something on the surface of these metal particles that should not be clearly visible to the naked eye.
That is the flow of lines of Meiruo artworks, it is a formation of crystal cores arranged and combined in a very strange way. Although Xu Le has no idea how these things are combined in such a small area, and how they work, but It is very simple to connect with the secret that Feng Yu said earlier.
Camouflage chip? A disguised chip that can pass all monitoring and detection under the brilliance of the First Charter!
The back of Xu Le's neck became cold again, because he knew that there was a similar chip hidden deep in his cervical spine, which had accompanied him for seventeen years. To be more precise, every citizen of the Federation has such a chip in the body... And for countless years, no one has been able to imitate this kind of chip, and no one has even dared to try to take it out, unless he decides to flee to another country and spend his life No more returning to the Commonwealth.
And at this time, in the wrist bracelet of the teenager... there is a chip that can be perfectly disguised! What kind of meaning does this represent? Under the strong emotional impact, Xu Le can't clearly control it, but he only knows one thing, a chip represents a brand new life. He also thought of what the boss said at the beginning, that those who can develop a camouflage chip and put it into practice will surely win the highest honor in federal science, the Nebula Award.
Of course, if a scientist in the federation really develops this kind of thing, he will definitely be sentenced to life imprisonment by the federation before he wins the Nebula Prize. But in any case, Xu Le was still shocked. What kind of knowledge and strength did he need to compete with the brilliance of the most powerful charter of the federal civilization
He looked back at Feng Yu's tired and old face in astonishment. He opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't speak. He had never been so shocked in his life, except for the loud noise twelve years ago.
It is this shock that makes Xu Le ignore another convincing process of the bracelet, fingerprint authentication and opening are completed at that moment. This is not particularly difficult in itself, but doing it quickly on a metal bracelet of such a thickness also shows a lot.
"As I said, this is a gift I gave you." Feng Yu didn't seem to know what kind of uproar it would cause if the bracelet he threw to Xu Le appeared in the federation society, and said, "If you don't want it because of me The relationship is caught in prison and locked up for a few years, find some time, find some space, take out the chip in your neck, and replace it with the one in the bracelet. The identity information and operation methods are all in the light curtain, you yourself Go learn... With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult."
At this time, the mine cart had stopped at the intersection of a roadway in the mine. Xu Le's trembling fingers restored the bracelet to its original position, subconsciously wanting to throw it away in fear, or return it to Feng Yu, however, Only then did he realize that the bracelet could no longer be thrown away, it was completely round, and could no longer find any gaps that could be opened, just like he wore it since he was a child.
"You... you... you use it, or... you will... die, you can... use it." Xu Le looked at Boss Feng's gray hair. He stuttered a little when he learned today how mysterious and unfathomable the boss is. , "I... a few years at most... you're going to die."
"Stupid guy, I have already said the reason." Feng Yu looked at the youthful face expressionlessly and said, "And this thing can only be used by one person, don't ask me the reason, and don't try to use it in the future. These chips are going to save other people's lives. Go... change your identity, go to the capital star circle, live a whole new life, and use another method to realize your ideals in life."
Another identity? Another life? Xu Le was suddenly stunned. The boss's words, the real cold metal touch on his wrist, reminded him that the life he thought was in a desperate situation suddenly opened another door for him, but behind that door... It was really his ideal. life
And, what about the boss
"I gave you a small gift, and I want to give you a few words." Feng Yu stared blankly into his eyes and said, "After you go to the Capital Star Circle in the future, maybe these few words will be useful to you. "
Xu Le was still in confusion, listening subconsciously.
"Your eyebrows are like knives, too straight and too straight. This is not good, it will suppress your vision, and it will hurt your mind. If you can change it, change it."
"There is no creator among the stars, and there is no brilliance to worship. The most dangerous place is the safest place, but this sentence can only be believed three times."
"Forget me after today, these four years should be pulled down and buried, don't expect to find any justice and reward, and don't engage in boring things like revenge, I'm not your father, and I didn't treat you What kind of good intentions... just be careful to stay away from those people in your life, those good people who eat your meat but advocate vegetarianism."
"I know you're curious about the bombing in the war and my crime. You want me to be innocent, but I can't say I'm innocent. I just can tell you, it won't take long before you know What that explosion was like."
"I've finished speaking." Feng Yu's gray hair suddenly became dazzling in the dark mine. His true age was finally revealed. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. After taking a sip, he continued: "The time is coming, they are coming too, you can get out too."
Xu Le has been listening in a daze, always feeling that there is a sadness rising from the bottom of his heart, and the pain in the top of his head is extremely painful. He said in a hoarse voice, like a prayer: "You have to live."
"Of course I'm alive, I'll live forever." Feng Yu's face suddenly showed an extremely arrogant expression, looking at the bracelet on Xu Le's wrist, and said, "You still use it?"
After saying this, Feng Yu, the number one traitor of the Federation and an ordinary mechanic in Donglin District, kicked Xu Le and kicked the silly boy into the sewer next to the tunnel.
